Intro
1/34
Dialogos is an app for online dialogue created from a self-directed independent project. Two goals drive it: 1) discover new and interesting people, ideas and reading material, and 2) foster richer, more insightful discussions around ideas. The process involved research, user interviews and surveys, and many rounds of design ideation and iteration. I had tremendous help and guidance from Ritik Dholakia who mentored me through the whole process.
Goals

  1. Discover new interesting people, ideas, reading material
  2. Foster richer, more insightful discussions

Process
Observations

  1. Many want to read, or read more but struggle
  2. For those who do read, most don’t retain
    the information they want to
  3. Whether or not they read, many
    like talking about ideas
Dialogos is not a social media app
